-2. **Workspace Settings File (`.gemini/settings.json`):** If no CLI flag is used, the `telemetry` value from this project-specific file is used.

-Add these lines to enable telemetry by in workspace (`.gemini/settings.json`) or user (`~/.gemini/settings.json`) settings:
+1. **CLI Flags (for `gemini` command):**
+ - `--telemetry` / `--no-telemetry`: Overrides `telemetry.enabled`. If this flag is not provided, telemetry is disabled unless enabled in settings files.
+ - `--telemetry-target <local|gcp>`: Overrides `telemetry.target`.
+ - `--telemetry-otlp-endpoint <URL>`: Overrides `telemetry.otlpEndpoint`.
+ - `--telemetry-log-prompts` / `--no-telemetry-log-prompts`: Overrides `telemetry.logPrompts`.
+2. **Environment Variables:**
+ - `OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT`: Overrides `telemetry.otlpEndpoint` if no `--telemetry-otlp-endpoint` flag is present.
+3. **Workspace Settings File (`.gemini/settings.json`):** Values from the `telemetry` object in this project-specific file.

+5. **Defaults:** applied if not set by any of the above.

+**For the `npm run telemetry -- --target=<gcp|local>` script:**
+The `--target` argument to this script _only_ overrides the `telemetry.target` for the duration and purpose of that script (i.e., choosing which collector to start). It does not permanently change your `settings.json`. The script will first look at `settings.json` for a `telemetry.target` to use as its default.
